Trevor and his first attempt at a Triathlon

Alright everyone, yes it is true Trevor decided to get his butt in shape, well sort of in shape. Trevor, Steve, and Stefan turned out for their First Triathlon, the Lake Waconia 19th Annual Tri.



As you can see behind us were the 3.5 ft swells that we would be swimming through at the beginning of the race.


For those of you who do not know, a Tri consists of a 0.5 mile swim, a 24 mile bike ride and then finally a 4.0 mile run. To make things even better this Tri was run with 20 mph wind and 75 Degree F weather. Piece of Cake for the Young Men, well maybe for Steve and Stefan.


Here is Sarah, Ben and Trevor before Sarah was seriously nervous for her husband's life.


As it turns out Steve and Stefan totally beat Trevor out of the water by 10 minutes. Trevor was busy swimming from life guard to life guard, the White caps were a lot for him to handle. Sarah kept looking into the water wondering, I sure hope his head is still above water....
Trevor was able to gain some time back on Stefan but Steve rocked the bike and the run. All three of them completed the race and look forward to another race later this summer and next year.
Trevor finished not first, but not last so it was successful. Total time during the race, 2hr 43min.
Trevor will be spending more time in the water next time practicing for the next race:)!!!
Here is something you didn't think you would see.....
